A respectable 79 average that never found its audience. A role-playing game built for the long haul — the kind you lose weekends to. Just you and the game. No lobbies, no teammates, no excuses.

About this game

The Pathless is a mythic adventure where you play as the Hunter, a skilled archer who explores a mysterious cursed island with an eagle companion. Your goal is to lift an unnatural shroud of darkness that plagues the world. As you bound acrobatically through dense forests, you will hunt prey, discover ancient ruins, and form a deep bond with your eagle. But beware: dangerous spirits also lurk in the woods. If you aren't careful, you may become the hunted yourself.

A dark curse spreads across the world, radiating from a mythical island at the end of the sea where ancient god-spirits known as the Tall Ones once dwelled. The Hunter, a masterful archer, sails to the island determined to break the curse. There she claims a Spirit Mask that reveals hidden secrets and meets the creator spirit, the Eagle Mother, who is slowly dying from the same corruption. Behind the blight stands the Godslayer, a powerful figure who has cursed the Tall Ones and now seeks to reshape the world according to his own will. Joined by a loyal eagle companion who carries her across vast forests, plains, and ruins, the Hunter sets out to cleanse the four corrupted spirits and stop the Godslayer before he can destroy everything.
